That is difficult to determine as it depends on the judgment holder and the laws of the state in which the judgment was awarded. Before the judgment can be executed it must be filed with the clerk of the court and signed by the judge. How the judgment holder chooses to collect the debt (wage garnishment, bank account levy, lien, etc.) would also have a bearing on when the judgment is enforced. Of course the judgment debtor also has the option of trying to negotiate with the judgment holder to pay the debt owed.
The court will try and contact you via mail, but they do not need proof that you were contacted, and you do not have to be present in order for your creditor to win. The creditor only has to provide proof that the debt is owed. You want to avoid this at all costs, for it is after a judgment is issued that a creditor can seize bank accounts, assets or garnish wages.
In addition, it is easy to renew a judgment once its SOL has past. If the creditor is diligent about his renewals, you could find yourself in the position where a judgment against you never expires. A judgment will drop off your credit report after 7 years, but your creditor can pursue you until the debt is paid.
The time limit varies by state. You need to check for your particular state. In Massachusetts for example a civil judgment lasts for 20 years but must be rerecorded in the land records every six years to remain effective against the debtor's real estate.

When a judgment has been entered against the defendant, further collection actions can be instituted by the plaintiff, such as garnishment of wages or seizure of property. But before such can be done, the plaintiff must serve you some documents which require you to list any assets you may own. If you want to make payments to satisfy the judgment, you can arrange this with the plaintiff. To answer your question, there is no such thing as a deadline by which adjustment must be paid. It is not paid, such judgment can be reported to a credit bureau and stay on such report for up to seven years.

Simple answer, until the amount stated in the judgment writ plus accrued interest (if any) is paid in full.
A civil suit after a judgment is obtained but not before can definitely result in a garnishment of the judgment debtor's salary. That is one of the most widely used methods of collecting on a judgment when the debtor does not have assets from which to pay the debt.
